We in Virtue anti-aging believe in thinking outside the box and using precision in the patient evaluation and personalized care. It has been my long term desire to transform my interventional cardiology practice into purely preventive cardiology one in order to focus on the root problems for the growing cardiovascular epidemic, which still causes more deaths and disability than even Covid during its peak pandemic time and cancer. Giving my patients only the guideline directed medical therapy, endovascular stents or referrals for surgical procedures amounts only to putting a bandaid for the never ending cycle of advancing cardiovascular disease process which will further overwhelm invariably the unsustainable economically health care system in the USA. For me and many other physicians this does not bring the conviction and satisfaction that we are doing all the right things for our patients entrusting us with their care.

With the growing number and quality scientific studies showing clearly that by addressing correctly lifestyle, nutrition, fitness, sleep, stress and inflammation, we as society can prevent and reverse essentially most of the cardiac and vascular diseases and other health issues for the benefit of all people we treat. Yes we are still decades away from success but all of us cardiologists have to do our fair share first even if sometimes thinking against the grain or not complying with some of the rigid community based standards. .

However I want to make sure it is absolutely clear that our only intention is to join the growing number of colleagues integrating the mainstream medical practice and entreaching it with scientific but often ignored medical knowledge and practices to improve the overall care. .
